There are
2 days left for the Kickstarter for the new edition of the DITKO PUBLIC SERVICE PACKAGE. Hopefully there won't be too many people complaining a few months from now that they wish they had heard about it in time to be a part of it. They'll probably still be able to get the book for a while, but maybe not the limited edition, and definitely not their names in the acknowledgements.
It's still a bit surprising to me that most of the major comic book news websites have decided the book isn't worthy more than a cursory mention, those few that found it worthy of any notice at all, but I guess they know their audiences.
Here's a few panels of "man on the street interviews" from the book. That third panel is one of my favourites from the book, a classic Ditko sneer.
I absolutely LOVE the expressions he's using. I've only seen a mere handful of Ditko's humorous work (including his second-best superhero ever, Killyjoy).
ReplyDeleteDitko's reputation doesn't bring to mind a comedic nature, but he definitely knows how to be funny when he wants to be!
